Control Associates is Now a Gold Certified Integrator for Induction Automation's Ignition Platform

February 11, 2025
Ignition is a software platform designed for industrial automation, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) applications. It provides a unified, web-based system for monitoring, controlling, and analyzing industrial processes.

Instead of managing each piece of equipment separately, a SCADA system, like Ignition, provides one interface to monitor and control everything. It collects real-time data from machines, processes it, and provides visual dashboards for operators. It helps optimize efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve decision-making by giving a complete view of plant operations.
Without a Supervisory System:
  • Each machine is controlled separately with different interfaces.
  • Operators must manually check multiple screens or walk around the plant to monitor performance.
  • If an issue arises (e.g., a conveyor stops or a bottling machine malfunctions), it isn't immediately clear where the problem is or how it affects the overall production.
Ignition Offers:
  • Unlimited licensing, making it cost-effective.
  • Fast deployment with web-based access.
  • Scalability from small installations to enterprise-wide solutions.
  • Extensibility with Python scripting, APIs, and third-party integrations.
